Taxidermy Unrelated-- Pellet CO2 Pistol Question

Submitted by Squirrel on 12/09/2003. ( seabass1020@hotmail.com ) 4.17.147.161

Hi, first off, apologies for this non-taxidermy related question, but I figured since there's a huge group here of dudes associated with hunting, ect, this would be a good place to ask. Does anyone know what velocity .117 CO2-powered pellet is necessary to kill very small game, like squirrels, etc? We're talking seriously close range here, I could probably knock one of the little tree rats off with a 9-iron if i was patient enough. I'm hoping ~435 fps will do the trick, but if I'm mistaken, feel free to enlighten me. Thanks for your time.

At twenty feet it should do the trick.

Maybe a bit longer range if you get a good one.
